01 / Intro
One spin picks a concrete subject so you can sketch, paint, or doodle instead of scrolling. Filter Easy, Intermediate, or Advanced to match your energy, then draw the first result. Use a reference photo, invent it, or mix both. Want more challenge? Add one twist from the list below the wheel.
02 / What's on this wheel
What's on this wheel
Seventy subjects grouped by difficulty. The Easy / Intermediate / Advanced chips match these clusters. The full list lives on the wheel.
Easy
Short subjects: one word or a simple noun. Quick to start, forgiving to finish, and fine for bored doodles or beginners. Magical ideas still count if the silhouette stays simple.
- Cabin
- Dog
- Hand
- Eye
- Shadow spirit
- Coffee cup
Intermediate
Clear subjects with more to solve: creatures, props, or a small place with atmosphere. Good warm-ups when Easy feels too thin.
- Crystal cave
- Windmill on a hill
- Mermaid
- Dragon
- Axolotl
Advanced
Fuller scenes and studies with more depth, weather, architecture, or composition. Aim for a longer sitting when you want something that looks more finished.
- Cliffside ocean view
- Overgrown temple
- Rainy city street
- Aurora over frozen tundra
- Self portrait
03 / Make it harder (or
Make it harder (or more fun)
After you land a subject, pick one rule below. The same coffee cup or cliffside view becomes a different sketch.
- Use as few lines as you can
- No eraser: first lines stay
- One continuous line (do not lift the pen)
- Blind contour for 30 seconds, then finish looking
- Only 2 colors (plus paper)
- Greyscale or one marker only
- Flat shapes, no shading
- Draw it from an unusual angle
- Give it a job or emotion (tired, heroic, tiny)
- 5-minute timer: stop when it rings
- Mash with a second spin (subject A + subject B)
- Photo reference only, or memory only with no looking anything up

FAQs about the What to Draw Wheel
Can I get only easy ideas?
Yes. Tap the Easy filter so the wheel only spins short, simple subjects. Great for beginners, kids, or a five-minute doodle. Intermediate and Advanced stay off until you clear the filter or choose All.
Can I add my own prompts?
Yes. Open Settings and add any subjects you want: inside jokes, class themes, or challenge lists. The wheel uses whatever list you set; remove slices you do not want today.
How do I make an easy subject harder / more fun?
After it lands, pick one twist from the list on this page: fewer lines, a tiny color limit, a timer, an unusual angle, and so on. Same subject, new problem to solve.
